Celtic goddesses are all goddesses of power, war, and the afterlife. The Valkyries were warrior women who trained to fight in the Norse apocalypse, Ragnarok. The Celtic goddesses you talked about are symbolism of lady power and war, so they both share the same image of "strong independent awesome lady deities"

Answer from: smilxess

The Celtic goddesses Macha, Morrigan, and Badb are similar to the Valkyries in Norse mythology in the sense that the four are related to war and battle. The four were thought to appear in the form of birds, such as crows; to accompany single warriors; and to roam the battlefield.

They were different in the sense that, unlike the Celtic warrior-goddesses, the Valkyries had a particular job: to take to Valhalla (the Norse afterlife) the slain warriors chosen to fight at Ragnarok (the Norse apocalypse), and to serve them mead at the feasts of every night.

The Celtic goddesses Macha, Morrigan, and Badb were thought to be three sisters, the three with war and death related powers and abilities. The first associated directly with the field, the second to the death and anger and the third, to confusion and fear in the soldiers.

Where the exact number of the Valkyries is not quite definite, the Celtic goddesses are agreed on being three (sisters, in general), while sometimes they are also considered to be three aspects of an only goddess.

Read the following excerpt from leslie marmon silko’s story "the man to send rain clouds." the priest stared down at his scuffed brown loafers and the worn hem of his cassock. “for a christian burial it was necessary.” his voice was distant, and leon thought that his blue eyes looked tired. “it's o.k., father, we just want him to have plenty of water.” the priest sank down into the green chair and picked up a glossy missionary magazine. he turned the colored pages full of lepers and pagans without looking at them. “you know i can't do that, leon. there should have been the last rites and a funeral mass at the very least.” leon put on his green cap and pulled the flaps down over his ears. “it's getting late, father. i've got to go.” which of the following statements best describes the thematic significance of this dialogue? this dialogue emphasizes the ongoing personal conflict between leon and father paul. this conversation between leon and father paul makes it clear that they will never come to an agreement. leon’s and father paul’s differing perspectives of the situation reflect their larger cultural conflicts. leon’s hasty exit from father paul’s house reflects his discomfort with the priest and christianity.
